Yes!! I got it!

[Christian Haul]

Hi.

first, let me thank you for your incredibly fast responses. Actually,
the first replies arrived before my subscription to the mailing list
was completed. Thus I waited until I was certain that I havn't
overlooked a reply by double checking the list archives.

The definitive hint was the linker problem. Yes, indeed I too use the
gnu binutils on Solaris 7. Having found that, and considering the
error message I have another solution for the problem which I think
should go into the distribution:

Calling GNU's ld with -E prevents it to strip all unused symbols!

Hence 
      DYNLINK_LDFLAGS = -Wl,-dy,-E 
solves the problem as well.
